About

So I am just this type-A wife that holds a full time job and freelances in both writing and photography, so….obviously, I am one of those creative types…I am a photographer, writer, crocheter, wife, mom, sister, daughter, friend, and owned by a small pack of dogs.

Sadly, I am also opinionated, not shy about it, and have a ridiculously low threshold for injustice, unfairness, and idiots.

This blog is basically my safe place to blow off steam. You’ll find my observations; things that are funny, situations that tickle me, scenarios that piss me off, things I’ve witnessed that are a little perplexing (did you read the one about the two pervy guys in the parking lot?), and tidbits that I can’t put on my “professional” blog, because I have no filter in my real life. 😉

While I hope that this will primarily entertain you, I also hope that something you read will make you stop and think and motivate you to do something, anything to make a change, do something kind for yourself (I do not recommend henna for dying your hair red unless you absolutely know what you’re doing), or just laugh.

No worries. I just told Squirrell that I was going to harass you, so I did. Sorry to hear about the dentist. I share the same sentiments about dentist visits as you do. Hopefully work will slow up a bit, and you’ll get some rest.

I found you via a trail of breadcrumbs laid by Mother Hen – and I’m glad I did. Great blog! Love the musings and opinions, interspersed with flashes of humour (and you have totally got those vines trained. You are like the Vine Whisperer!)

I like that you admitted to being a Type-A personality. My husband recently bought me an iPhone cover that had “Type-A” embossed on it. I (very ungratefully) pulled a face and said I hated it. “That’s not me at all!” I moaned. Within a week, I’d bought myself a new phone cover to replace it. I now suspect that the fact I had to control the type of phone cover I used might suggest that the Type-A cover was the right one for me.

Hey Julie, I’m back with another award for you, my blogging buddy – a Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award. You may already have it, but I’m sure you can get these things more than once, lol, and I coudln’t leave you out. I hope this is something you would like to participate in but of course, I understand if you do not have enough time to participate. If you are interested, please follow the link below.http://lydiadevadason.wordpress.com/2014/04/19/awards-ceremony/

I know, lol. Just went to check out Whitney and saw that my message wasn’t there d’oh – and saw you gave her a couple of others too! Brilliant! I hope there aren’t many others though who never found out they’d been nominated – may have to work my way back through the list 😦

I’m working on a “system” to make the process easier…I’m compiling a list of my favorite blogs in a Word document, and adding to it as I go along, complete with URL’s, so that I can copy, paste, link when I do one. Then I type up a notification paragraph that I can personalize when I notify, and then click through all the links I posted on my blog, and boom. Easy Peasy.

Whitney is a hoot – she’s hilarious! I love that we need a system to deal with these things. And I followed your method above – exactly – but because I nominated a gazillion blogs I had too many tabs open and so when I pasted my notification para my computer had a tantrum at some point, and then repeatedly! Ha ha

Hello Julie, as a valued reader of my blog, I have nominated you for the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award – I love this because it offers a chance to thank people who follow and read your posts (plus there’s very little work required – just to thank and nominate, lol). Of course, I understand if you do not have time or would prefer not to participate, but if you are interested, please follow the link below to see the full requirements for acceptance. 🙂
